A sinister plot is afoot and only one substitue teacher, a special agent who loves books can stop it. She is 23 year old Yomiko Readman; better known to her colleagues in section A of library Special Operations as "The Paper". Someone is hell-bent on procuring a rare lost Beethoven manuscript called "The Suicide Song" and has ressurected a few of history's most extraordanary people, through stolen DNA, to aid in the endeavor. Yomiko and her fellow super-powered operatives must tangle with the likes of Tokugawa-Era scientist Gennai Hiraga, aviation poineer Otto Lilienthai, and 19th century etomologist Jean-Henri Fabre in a desperate race to find the books and save the world!
